G A C Riff 1

I write this alone on my bed I poisend every room in my house

G Riff 2 C Riff 1

The place is quiet and so alone pretend theres something worth waiting for

N.B.this is best played with finger picking, but you can use a plectrum. I prefer to finger the chords and pick the riffs (altough usually not riff 2). Find what works best for you. Im pretty sure James fingers it.

N.B. Play two downstoke on G,A and C followed by an upstroke missing out the root note and then a final downstroke. The Bb chord is play heavly muted and in a 1+2+3+4+.

A------------------|---------------(6)---
E------------------|------------------3-- Play either (1) OR (6), I prefer 1.

N.B. there are subtle variations to this when James plays it, little bends and some vibrato. Do NOT try to replicate it exactley, insted mess around and do your own thing, its much more fun and gives it a personnel feeling ;).

at the final part (i.e the /8 on the D string rythm plays)

|Eb |D |C |Bb |G |

One strum each, using root 5 Bar chords (i.e. along the A string), and the same G Chord as used in the verse


Bridge


Play the same as the intro using power chords on the E string, on the final time before the verse play this harmony (over C and G)

e----7----5---3--3-5--
B----------------3-5--
G--7----5---4---------
D---------------------
A---------------------
E---------------------

Verse 2


Play the same as before but either use power chords or open string chords, replacing the upstroke with a muted up and down stroke

Solo

Again, the same as before, but on the third time go up an octave, this is followed by the Mid Section (see below)

N.B. Strum all chords once, except C wich is played in 1+2+3+4+ and is heavilly muted. Again, no hard and fast rules so feel free to experiment
